Product descriptions:
XMPie uDirect Standard
With the uDirect plug-in, variable-data publishing is as easy as desktop publishing. Highly creative variable-data projects can be produced on a single desktop by any InDesign artist; no programming knowledge is required. Turn any text, character style, image or layer into a data-driven variable object with a simple double-click. Define additional "if, then" business rules quickly from drop down selections. Utilize copy fitting and image fitting to preserve the integrity of the document across all customer records. Preview records in real-time. For cross-media capabilities, collaborate with XMPie's PersonalEffect system. Output PDF, VPS, VIPP, PPML, VDX, PostScript.

XMPie uDirect Professional
A dual-desktop solution, uDirect Professional has all of the capabilities of uDirect Standard for the designer, plus uPlan,™ an advanced programming tool for variable-data projects where the data comes from multiple sources or complex business logic is required.

uDirect within the XMPie Product Line
XMPie's approach to product development is modularity — creating highly flexible and scalable solutions that are fully compatible with each other. Since uDirect products and PersonalEffect products have common underlying technologies, collaboration methodologies are built-in. Collaboration is also an option as you serve your increasingly demanding client base. Occasionally, a variable-data project may require cross-media communications, more advanced logic, multiple database connections or a high-volume print run. You can design your document in a uDirect product and work with a print service provider to implement the advanced functionality using their XMPie PersonalEffect system.
